DHAKA: saturday, former classmates and other acquaintances have started identifying the Holey Artisan Bakery attackers with the help of social media after the SITE Intelligence Group on Saturday published photos of five gunmen who the IS claims killed 22 people including two policemen.
Photographs of the terrorists released by the ISIS appear to tally with the terrorists gunned down by the security forces after an 11-hour siege.
The government has said that all of the attackers were well-educated and most came from wealthy families.
"They are all highly educated young men and went to university," said Bangladesh's Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to news agency AFP.
"The terrorists were from a top school and University in Dhaka... Some of the terrorists were from the Scholastic School -- a very well-known school and private university.
The parents of these boys are normal and have secular credentials," Bangladesh Information and Broadcasting minister Hassanul Haq Inna.
